2012 is very special compared to 2009/10/11, the major title of the season will not be decided on a series (World Championship) but on a single race, the Olympics.
A one day race brings uncertainty, nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. Obviously and fortunately, it is possible to limit the impact of random factors.
MY PRIORITY:
"The most important part of training is recovery."
During the past week I really focussed on my recovery after a cycle where I raced 4 times in 5 weeks.

MY GOAL
Obviously achieving such a schedule after a hard block of training is definitely not the best to grab the best results for now but over the years I understood how to get ready for an event.
This year my target is to be fully fit early august and in that sense the past few weeks have been really important.
Nevertheless, I found myself able to grab descent results considering my fatigue.
MY PREPARATION
We are five weeks from the goal of the year (the past four years): the Olympics. Around me, everyone tells me the "last straight", I do not really like that word it makes me think of a sprint while the period that separates me from the race will be anything but not something rushed!
I am confident but aware.
All the best, Laurent.
OTHER-For the second time this year I found myself leading the world ranking "ITU Point List" co-leader with Andrea leading the women!
